Even though the + is now missing from the name, the fair is not lacking in growth: 195 galleries are gathering at Art Basel Paris this year, which previously bore the name Paris+ par Art Basel. That's an increase of almost a third: the fair has only existed since 2022, but is living up to expectations as one of the most important art fairs in the world, even if in 2023 it was criticized that the Parisian flair was sacrificed for a one-size-fits-all Art Basel look. In addition to the artworks in the Grand Palais, the fair presents monumental installations and sculptures at several locations in Paris and a special project called Tales & Tellers at the Palais d'lèna, which was created in collaboration with the fashion brand Miu Miu. Art Basel Paris runs from October 18 to 20, with VIP Preview Days on October 16 and 17.

The new sections include Premise and Oh La La!. In the former, nine selected galleries present curated exhibitions that also include works of art from before 1900. The latter is an initiative that aims to bring greater attention to rarely exhibited works of art. On Friday, October 18, and Saturday, October 19, there will be the opportunity to see several dozen rarely shown paintings, sculptures, drawings and digital artworks.Art.Salon

Los Angeles, Getty Museum: »Paper and Light«

Using colors to depict warm sunlight or a fascinating twilight is commonplace. But some artists have used empty spaces on the paper medium to capture light effects. From October 15, the Getty Museum will be presenting 30 sheets from its own collection in Paper and Light.
